Our increasing frustration with growing traffic congestion is matched by our inability to doing something about it. We need to do more with less as our problems become more complex and solutions more expensive. Creative and innovative solutions are needed to address today's transportation challenges, but they need to be cost-effective, tied to our goals, and supported by technical analyses rooted in common sense. We can meet the challenge because we must.

Bruce Mori has more than 20 years of consulting experience that spans the globe. He specializes in transportation systems planning and travel demand forecasting for major metropolitan areas and Landmark Events with a focus on rapid transit systems, integrated transportation land use planning, and sustainable transportation principles.

It is good to plan for big with long term vision, but that journey should be covered with smaller interventions rather than waiting for the big vision to happen at one go..

Kamran Naseem is an Architect-Urban Planner, working as a specialist identifying Urban and Regional economic, social and environmental issues, developing short- and long-term plans to create, grow and revitalize communities and areas. Working with deep commitment towards creating livable/sustainable/ intelligent cities, I have always been fascinated by the city at its various scales and have in the last few years explored the various layers which constitute the urban fabric– where in its labyrinthine alleys exist several microcosms, each inter-connected to make a complete system. With specialization in core urban planning and placemaking, I have worked on national and international projects within IBI Group. The overall experience includes, study, analysis, conceptual design and construction drawings of urban and regional projects in the realm of Transit Oriented Development, Zonal Development, Site planning and Smart Cities.
